h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well times are changing...

Well, I thought that maybe there are still some more pieces around that might leave kind of a track...(and that's why I thought of H&G, remember the breadcrumbs?)

Yep, I do. Right, are we going then?

I'll be leaving shortly too, so I don't think I have time for more adventuring today...

*wakes up* Oh, looks like we fell asleep here. Well I guess it was really time to get some sleep, wasn't it. *stretches* Anyway maybe we should move on...Sir Santa? *gently shakes Sir Santa who is still fast asleep*

* sneaks around and tries not to be seen, then noticing that maiden is awake, addresses her trying to look like a nice old lady and to speak like one, too*

Hey little lady, could this be your dog? That's a lovely doggy.
*cuddles the dog then takes a seat beside the fair maiden*

What are you doing here, this in not a place for the girls like you. Are you lost - I can show you the way out of the castle.

Hello, my name is Granny Smith. Who are you?
*thinks whether it's wise to trust a stranger, but the woman actually looks quite nice though the dog seems to be a bit suspicious about her*
Do you know the castle well?

My name is ... ... Jane Doe. You can call me just Jane. Oh yes, I know the castle damn well. Oops! ... pretty well . I've been in here for some hundr... some years.

Nice to meet you Jane. *starts getting a tiny bit suspicious - couldn't give a reason for that, it's just a feeling*
So what are you doing around here then?

zzzzzz....what?
*looks around*
Hey, who're you?

I'm Jane. I happen to live ... eer ... take a walk here, young man. I lost my ... button somewhere in the passage ...

*whispers to Sir Santa* What do you think about her, I have a strange feeling and the dog doesn't seem to like her. But on the other hand she might really know the castle...

I'm not sure which role to play right now, but I'd say follow the old lady, but watch her closely - and let her go first!

I agree.. I've always been suspicious of old ladys sneaking around in large castle-dungeons.... But maybe we can tweak her for some information.

Right, , Jane... So you know these here dungeons?

*watches the old lady carefully*

Well, my dear children, I know it all around here. I'll lead you out of the castle and far away from it.

( ... and the princess will be mine, MINE!)

What are you doing here in these joyful... eer ... miserable dungeons, anyway?

One problem though, we don't want to get out of here! And I really don't feel that's any of your business.

*nodding in agreement, the dog gives a fierce bark*

But what are you doing down here, this is not a place for the sweet children like you ?

*thinks to herself that the old lady must be very old indeed to call a proper knight a child...*
Oh we are just here to see those beautiful statues. We like art...

* hopes that the spell she put on these annoying creatures was good enough and that they'd stay pertified*

Yes, yes, nice statues, niiice, niiice statues. But shouldn't we go now?

Go where? Like I told you, where not leaving this place...
